Emirates and AEGEAN today announced the expansion of their codeshare agreement, by adding the Athens-New York (Newark) route as both airlines celebrate one year of a fruitful partnership that has successfully benefited more than 16,800 passengers. Emirates’ passengers can now stopover in Athens before benefiting from AEGEAN’s connections to popular Greek and European destinations, while AEGEAN travelers will have access to Emirates’ flights between Athens and Dubai and additionally to flights between Athens and Newark.

The codeshare agreement between Emirates and AEGEAN launched in August 2022, offering travelers a seamless booking experience from Emirates’ network to eight domestic Greek points via Athens, using a single ticket and one baggage policy. AEGEAN had also placed its code on Emirates-operated flights between Dubai and Athens, allowing their customers to benefit from seamless travel between both hubs.

Through the codeshare partnership, AEGEAN offers flights to 17 domestic destinations and 53 additional points in regional Europe and the Middle East from its Athens hub, while customers can access Emirates’ global network of over 140 destinations spanning six continents from its hub in Dubai. The combined network of both airlines will reach 200 destinations globally.
